Quality clay brick suppliers for half a century

Algoa Brick manufactures a full range of quality clay bricks, and has supplied to the Nelson Mandela Bay and Eastern Cape region for over 60 years.

Our clay brick has been successfully used in residential and commercial construction projects throughout the Eastern Cape, where quality, consistency, durability and versatility are critical to the success of the building.

Our clay masonry bricks are available in a wide selection of surface textures, shapes and natural hues. They can be used as stand alone structural elements, in multi-story building or as an attractive cladding material, or filler between structural elements. Natural aesthetics also make them a popular choice for face brick facades or for external features such as perimeter walling, which when combined with other materials like wrought iron railings create a spectacular effect.

Our range of Maxi and SuperMaxi bricks has fast become the most popular size format. This cost competitive alternative has been used for all forms of building - from low income housing to superior dwellings, schools, hospitals, libraries in the low, medium and high-rise structures.

Less mortar as mortar bed is narrower

Fewer joints per square meter versus the standard 52 joints

The added height means the wall goes up in a half of the time

Lighter mass per square meter means less mass on site needs to be moved and transported

Compatibility with conventional face bricks - 2 courses of Maxi brick is the same height as 4 courses of facebrick
